The breakfast was a disaster. Ordered a bacon sandwich waited 55 minutes and it never arrived. Ended up having to leave without breakfast. No staff to ask where it was

Bad accommodation
Pros:

The look of the building from the outside looked nice

Cons:

We booked for one night and was very disappointed we booked the superior room which was not worth the money at all, had nowhere in the bathroom to put toiletries so had to leave them on the dressing table, there was no mirror in bathroom except a tiny hand mirror the tap was very loose, the bed was a standard double where is should have been king-size, there were marks all up the walls, there was a big chip in the bath, generally the room was not very clean, we complained about the room and was moved to another room but this wasnt very clean either. When i did the booking i asked for an accessable room and to be on ground floor as my husband is disabled and cant manage stairs or able to get in and out of the bath. Ther superior room has a walk in shower but the 2nd room was on ground floor with a bath which had a shower in with shower screen. the food was not very good, we waited for 45minutes for food to come out only to have to send the food back as it wasnt cooked properly, waited another 45 minutes and still wasnt cooked properly. Breakfast, service again was very slow, had to ask for stuff several times, there wasnt enough cups, bread. Sugar put out.

Blue Bell
Pros:

The beds were comfy. Room spacious.
Location was good for what we were doing

Cons:

Bar / Restaurant facilities were very tired looking.
Staff were quite slow serving
Rooms were being renovated in our corridor and they were hammering and drilling before 9am. No warning that this would be happening.
